Do "Black Sweat" sound like or remind you of "Kiss"

No bassline.Do you think he was trying to create the same tune in a way.

similar orchestration and approach. Very little reverb. Funk groove so tight it's claustrophobic.

The songs could be twins.

I definitely think they're similar.

I think if Black Sweat came out 20 years earlier, it would have been a huge hit.

I was actually at the concert in Chicago where he played it for the first time. It was during the acoustic part of the show.

Agreed. I think it could have been a pretty big hit in 06' too, if he had released it to the Hip Hop radio stations and performed it live on Leno and AI and the Superbowl

there have been many different stages where i think prince has
incorporated features of older, or specificially, PR songs into
new music.

one of the reasons i think he does this, is indirectly to say
to critics, "you're so busy moaning about the new, that you
cannot even see the old in it...

...and thereby, cannot appreciate the new."

yes, i agree w/ black sweat and kiss

yes, Black Sweat reminds me of Kiss: but without the funky guitar.

Instead the song has this high pitched synth line which is a little annoying.

I miss the funky 7:45 extended version which might be in Prince's vaults! sad

Nah don't hear it!
Fury reminded me off 1999 though.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!
